i was trimming my GP nails for the 1st time last week. the whole process took me around 1 hour!! i was sweating n struggling but finally ended...

i am interested but space constraint, mebbe a few more weeks coz need to pack up de stuff and get new cage.

BTW, my Babak like to wheek every morning when she heard me brushing teeth, coz got breakfast n me pampering her!! lol...

of coz they r tame! haven't u heard that all owners r happy wit their GPs?

its only de bonding part that is difficult n it takes time too...

actually at 1st i thought my GP got mites coz behind her ear is bald. after checking, only i noe its normal, lol

here is my GP pics...



very healthy, always do weight lifting...

oh ya, her name is Babak. meaning chubby, in case u asked

quickly bring her to the vet, it is mites!

u just get ur GP not long ago right? dun worry, dun rush ur pig.

when i first got mine she was so scare that hide in her dome for 3 days straight. she seldom come out n her fur turned yellow caused by her pee. she also seldom eat n drink. but after 1 week everything went to normal. try be with ur GP n hand feed them more often so tat they will recognize ur smell. imagine u being transfered to some where n not knowing whether the person is good or bad, how do u feel? scared rite?

for potty training, u will have to wait. let him be comfortable wit u 1st

usually every morning my GP would jump around in de morning when see but today she just sit still, she seems kinda moody too.

Does GP oso have PMS?? or she just felt lonely coz she dun have a cage mate?

hmm, i notice too but still searching for a cage mate...

not sure whether male or female would be suitable.

BTW, here r some photo of her grazing some grass in de garden!



i recorded her munching grass but can't upload it here... too bad

i think im ready to get another GP to accompany my Babak

last scare can't handle 2 GP so get only 1...

Thanks for de advise people!

haha, gotcha!

i usually bath my GP once a week, is it ok?

i used baby Johnson & Johnson & 2 towels to wipe them dry wit hair dryer. For hair drier i used hot n warm air, is it ok?

ok, arigatou! now i know wat to do for their grooming! thanks for de advise guys!

i am also currently using a conventional cage, which is a plastic base. I used newspaper to cover whole base, toilet floor mat covering 3/4 of it, n de rest i used back to nature bedding where they will pee n poo. tat way i change it every 2 days n wash it once a week. work for me

yesterday just went to a petshop in tesco cheras, saw them selling GP at different price according to how many colours on their fur.

de worst part was one of de GP whole chin was very, very wet. i was really surprise n felt pity for tat little fella, it looked very sick.

by any chances anyone know wat is wrong wit it? from de size of de body, i guess it must be 2 months old. they r only feeding pellets, no hays...

help! my GP is not eating her food n her poo is turning smaller n watery.
i think she got diarrhea, any suggestion?

how bout pellets? is it ok or i juz feed her hays?

anyone knows a gud vet for GP in Cheras area? dunno where Dr. Jenny's clinic is...
